However, it has some issues earlier imo - it needs a lot of infrastructure to really get going, and is thus pretty vulnerable to a lot of midgame timings. A risk you have to take and can work around, I guess. I don't think it's much help against one-base allins, anyway :p plus zealot archon is horrible vs terran drop play. even though blink is easily accessible you need time to build up enough stalkers to deal with dropships. | ||

I used to think PvZ was fucking imbalanced until I practiced it many times. Now I love it but I hate my PvT now. That's the way things go. Practice until you become good, then when(if) a buff comes around, be happy ^^ | ||

Yeah, but that's a tradeoff you get for having a much more durable force, not a balance issue - similar to going infestor instead of muta in ZvT. I feel zeal/archon is something you transition into after a colo or blink opening. Either way, I don't think Ps are complaining about lategame issues much vT. | ||

If you have 2 cannons at the front of your nat and a few sentries to prevent marauders getting to them, he has to seige his tanks up further back which means you can get an extra immortal out to try and break it. Not saying this would work, just an idea. | ||

I think hellions should cost more. You can just keep sending and dropping them without worry. Once you get 1-2 shots on the mineral line and the hellion already pays for itself. If you get to an undefended mineral line it is pretty much gg unless you were behind before the drop. As for why protoss is losing against zerg... I guess the reason is the infestor buff. Nowadays zergs use infestors a lot, which makes winning against zergs really hard. Not sure if it is imbalance or just if protosses need time to adapt. | ||

On August 09 2011 23:53 WarpMePlz wrote: It's perfectly logical for terran to build bunkers to prevent protoss allins from being successful. The same is said for Zerg holding 4 gates etc. When are we going to see cannons being standard for holding terran allins? Probably when they start to out range a siege tank in the case of 1/1/1. On topic I am a protoss player, and I am actually quite frustrated. Not frustrated in my own games, I am only diamond and I can see faults for all the times that I lose. But watching pro players get smashed again and again is frustrating, and it seems like it is because they play protoss is just a really crap feeling. Eventually you cant help that little nagging thought coming into your head when you play a game that you are at a disadvantage because your race is simply not as good. That really makes the whole game a LOT less fun, at least for me. It also contributes to rage when you cant hold an all-in, especially when you cant go anywhere to see how to hold it off. I was recently watching/helping a friend of mine play protoss on ladder. He is only silver league and he lost to what was supposed to be a 1/1/1 (poorly executed). He asks me how you hold that off ideally and I have to say I dont know, and I dont think that anybody else does either. I actually think that most of the reasons protoss is this way has already been outlined by other people: 1. Protoss relies too much on a few "lynch pin" units : The sentry, the HT and the colossus. This makes the game really quite fragile, and opens up a lot of timings for other races to exploit. 2. There is no harass unit for protoss. There is also an argument to be made that this is just a metagame problem. The warp gate nerf was really a gigantic change for the entire race, as almost every strategy and timing revolves around the warp gate timing. | ||

Yeah, he couldnt deal with it at the time, maybe he got build ordered. Maybe if he wouldv had more gateways he couldv stopped it before the bunkers came up. | ||
